1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Jabalpur airport is spread over an area of 659.18 acres in the state of Madhya

Pradesh. It is located at a distance of about 8.0 km, west from Jabalpur town. The

terminal building already exists and at present CRJ 700 and Q-400 aircrafts are

operating. Further daily there are 2 numbers of non-scheduled operations of BCH-

1900 type of aircrafts. The present peak hour traffic of scheduled flights is 1 number

of aircraft for which apron is available.

Considering the projected traffic in the year 2017-18, there is a need to propose new

terminal building, apron and allied works at the location available within the existing

land and 101.14 acres to be acquired for the extension of runway. AAI prepared

master plan for the proposed expansion of Jabalpur airport and it projected

additional land requirement of 101.14 acres for runway extension and airport

development to Government of Madhya Pradesh.

1.1 Project Proponent

Airports Authority of India (AAI) was constituted by an Act of Parliament and came

into being on 1st April 1995. Currently, it manages a total of 125 Airports, which

include 11 International Airports, 08 Customs Airports, 81 Domestic Airports and 25

Civil Enclaves at Defense Airfields.

AAI also provides Air Traffic Management Services (ATMS) over entire Indian Air

Space and adjoining oceanic areas with ground installations at all Airports and 25

other locations to ensure safety of Aircraft operations.

1.2 Need for the Project

At present CRJ 700 and Q-400 aircrafts are operating. Further daily there are 2

numbers of non-scheduled operations of BCH-1900 type of aircrafts. The present

peak hour traffic of scheduled flights is 1 number of aircraft for which apron is

available. Considering the projected traffic in the year 2017-18, it has been planned

to take up construction of apron suitable to park at least 4 aircrafts i.e. 2 aircrafts of

code “4C” (AB321/B737-900W), 1 aircraft of code “3C” (ATR 72-500) and 1 aircraft

of code “3D” (Q-400) which may be extended over a period of time as per the

requirement. Further one parking bay of code “4C” to be alternated with 4 aircrafts

of code “2B” (BCH1900).

The traffic forecast of the Jabalpur airport during 2014-2015 was observed in which

the movement of aircraft was about 1718 Nos. and the total passenger traffic of

Jabalpur airport is 1,01,227 for the same year. There will be an increase in air traffic

and more aircrafts would land if there were the required conveniences. Table-1.1

shows the traffic Forecast which indicates that the growth rate of about 45% in

terms of aircraft movement and 50% in terms of no. of passengers during 2015-16

on comparison with 2014-15 year data.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Type of Project

The extension of runway including resurfacing of flexible portion of runway and

taxiway, construction of new terminal building, ATC tower cum technical block, fire

station, apron extension, drainage works, boundary wall and other associated works

along with electrical works at C.A. Jabalpur. The existing and the proposed features

of the Jabalpur airport are given as follow:

Existing Facilities:

Jabalpur Airport is designated as code “3C”. The existing runway is 1988 x 45 m.

Jabalpur airport is connected with Delhi and Mumbai airports. The link taxi track to

apron is 23 m wide without shoulders. The existing apron 67.4 m x 51.8 m is

suitable for parking 1 number of B-737-400 type or 2 numbers of ATR-72-500 type

aircrafts in dependent parking with power in power out configuration. The edge of

existing apron is 125 m away from runway center line and falls within 300 m basic

strip and does not clear the DGCA CAR norms. The height of the operational

boundary wall is 2.44 m and the length of the wall is 6.5 km. There are two DG sets

of capacity 250 KVA in the existing facility to cater the power requirement during

emergency conditions.

Proposed Facilities:

The present apron falls within the 300 m basic strip and therefore the existing apron

cannot be expanded due to DGCA CAR. The apron can accommodate 1 number of

4

aircraft independently at a time. As per Airport Director there is large number of

non-scheduled movements. In order to facilitate the non-schedule movements,

DGCA regulations of 300 m basic strip and in view of the projected traffic growth it is

proposed to take up construction of new apron at a location with existing land

available and as per the ultimate master plan. The proposed new terminal building

would be constructed north of the proposed apron as per the master plan. Along with

the existing DG sets one more DG set of capacity 400 KVA is proposed to cater the

power requirement during emergency conditions. After the commissioning of the

aircraft bays in the new apron the existing terminal building will be reused as

ancillary building, Cargo building etc. and apron will be reused as link taxiway.

2.2 Location

Geographically, the site is situated at Longitude of 23o10’42”N and Latitude of

80o03’12”E. The area is covered in Survey of India Toposheet no. F44C4 (64 A/4).

The nearest railway station is Jabalpur junction, which is at a distance of about 8.8

km in W direction.

The 10 km radius study area map is given in Figure-1.

2.3 Details of Alternate Site

The present proposal is for extension of runway including resurfacing of flexible

portion of runway and taxiway, construction of new terminal building, ATC tower cum

technical block, fire station, apron extension, drainage works, boundary wall and

other associated works along with electrical works within the existing available land

except the runway extension which requires an additional land of 101.14 acres to be

acquired.

Hence, no alternative sites were examined.

3.0 SITE ANALYSIS

3.1 Connectivity

Jabalpur airport is located approximately at a distance of 8.0 km, W from Jabalpur

town and 8.8 km from Jabalpur railway station. The National Highway NH-12A & NH-

7 are at a distance of 7.2 km, S and 9.6 km, W respectively. The nearest airports are

Bhopal and Nagpur at a distance of 270 km, W and 240 km, SSW respectively. The

Visakhapatnam port is nearest port which is located at a distance of 690 km, SSE.

3.2 Land form, Land use & Land ownership

659.18 acres of land is already under possession of Airports Authority of India (AAI).

Present proposal is for expansion of Jabalpur Airport by construction of new terminal

building, apron, ATC and its allied facilities and for the extension of runway AAI

needs to acquire about 101.14 acres of land.

3.3 Topography

There is no demolition works involved in the proposed expansion. The new buildings

and allied facilities will be constructed and the existing terminal building will be

reused as ancillary building, Cargo building etc. and apron will be reused as link

taxiway.

Proposed Land use pattern

Present land use remains same even after construction of new terminal building,

apron, ATC and its allied facilities within the existing land of 659.18 acres. But about

101.14 acres of land required for the extension of airport runway will be converted to

commercial land.
